Rush Limbaugh Compares Anti-War Vet to Suicide Bomber
It might be time for Rush Limbaugh to shut up. After he called active duty members of the armed forces who criticize the Iraq War "phony soldiers," an organization of veterans called VoteVets released an ad starring an injured Iraq veteran who told Rush, "Until you have the guts to call me a 'phony soldier' to my face, stop telling lies about my service." (See the ad here.)
Limbaugh's response was to make the situation worse by comparing the vet to a suicide bomber. And here's the final twist: the veteran revealed in a post at Daily Kos that the traumatic brain injury he suffered in Iraq was actually caused by a suicide attack.
Rush, stop digging.

If some terrorist cut out Rush Limbaugh's tongue and fed it to dogs, they would most certainly die of terrible poisons. This must not be allowed to happen, let him bite his own tongue.
when was the last time rush the addict told the truth

This just makes Rush bigger. Look at Michael Savage in San Fransicko. We all pretend that he does not exist and hope that with no attention, he will go away. It works. With Rush, the U.S. Senate elevates him with all this attention.

It would be a good idea to link to Rush's actual site rather than to thinkprogress. It increases the legitimacy of these claims and reduces Rush's ability to claim that "those liberals never listen to my show, only eachother's lies"

Did Rush ever serve in any branch of the Armed Services.I'm betting no.So until he has served his country this fat, cowardly, b$@%h just needs to shut up.

Jesse MacBeth, the liar who became a hero of the left when he claimed to be an Army Ranger and alleged that the US military was routinely murdering Iraqi civilians, has been sentenced to 5 months in prison.
Those with whom you are so infatuated have for years rushed to endorse the lies of "phony soldiers" like Jesse MacBeth without even attempting to verify, with that individuals DD 214, the validity of their alleged service but then the lie you support would be half away around the world before truth got its shoes on... Moreover, by that practice your repeated past omissions suggest your true intent - to lie. I have been listening to your associate’s dribbles since Vietnam and it continues to reek.... Who was it that said "A lie that supports the cause is a truth"?? You personify that practice...

Anecdotes or an anecdote that incites your situational personal political erotica group will never minimally equate to taking anything on or as a substantive retort. That Sir is the repetitious error.
But sir I do understand your fear of slighting moveon.org considering how MoveOn.org chief operating officer Carrie Olson read the riot act to a small businesses man and life long Democrat who disagreed with the General Betrayus ADD I bet you are quaking in your boots.. So I do understand the inspiration for your composition of situational personal political erotica quotes- They please your masters and pack…. I am told the Orientals and in particular, the Japanese are the best source for performing humble bows… Chekum out for bowing instruction.. Then you will do even better as their minion…

Rush Limbaugh is the modern day Joseph Goebbels want a be only without the intellectual credentials. If Rush had his head buried any further up his ass, he would for all intents and purposes disappear.
Posted by: Barrot on 10/04/07 at 4:40 AM Respond
Herr Goebbels earned a Ph.D. from Heidelberg University in 1921, on the basis of a doctoral thesis on 18th century romantic drama; he then went on to work as a journalist and later a bank clerk and caller on the stock exchange. He also wrote novels and plays. From his credentials, he sounds like a real liberal.
Whereas, Rush is the dunce of the family, but rich in money. His family is filled with a number of lawyers including his grandfather, father and his brother David Limbaugh. His uncle, Stephen N. Limbaugh, Sr. is a Ronald Reagan appointed federal judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri and his cousin, Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr., is Judge on the Supreme Court of Missouri. Rush Limbaugh, Sr., Limbaugh's grandfather, was a Missouri prosecutor, judge, special commissioner and served on Missouri's state House of Representatives from 1930 to 1932.
Now who would you rather go out with for fine dinning in San Francisco?

Other than having political appointed or anointed relatives, what are Rush's credentials? Paid man for the GOP?
